  The only acceptable response is this: 1 WE were responsible, and we don't like you advertising it [not true, and no names were mentioned] or 2 We really don't like that his happened, so we'll crush all mentions of it...
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  Non of the above. I'm crying. It's beautiful. We can hear again. ~ My blood as price. Gladly paid for our kind....
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  Given your encounter with the Old Ones, how would you design a Hive Mind? I'd start with being able to set up memes a year in advance then trigger them for maximal effectiveness. Bleh, any operative can do that crap...
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  Dude. You ninja'd my joke. But that's the right kind of thought....
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  And, sigh. An answer that 99% of Host's readers will scoff at (and, as such, this is anti-poetry): Born out of the Touch of vagina of Stone, Ears open to the old ones, Eyes focused on the decaying seagull, Taste...
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  I've no idea. Please understand the amount of alcohol (which is a poison to all, but especially us) being used here. It's not fun and it's also far above what your bodies could take. There's a reason it's so common...

  Well, (we're almost past 400, no-one is still reading), mine was personally inflicted by a rather petty little 'Deity' [self-proclaimed] / wanker / 'Higher-Order-Power' who inflicted it purely out of spite (he lost... a lot of arguments and his Ego...
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  It's also a very good case of when STEM graduates need to step back and learn some wisdom. Then stop denouncing art, philosophy or religion and start growing. Oh, and then go back and know, not think, what existence is....
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  Could you provide an example? (And no, that's not at all what my model presupposes: if I'm hinting at fungi, I'm probably in kinky kinky land)....
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  I'm not sure I'm seeing the distinction you're making here between interpersonal interactions and thought processes. CBT is driven by the self, not via the Other (and is common enough for bipolar and other DSM V defined conditions, admittedly with...
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  I smell dualism. Think of it in terms of plants and what was realized very recently regarding symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi: the fungi act as vectors for transmitting chemical warnings to plants who reciprocate properly - mostly regarding insect...
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  Deleted a long comment outlining the current State of the Art (from Roko's to Jesus Incidents to the whole Bostrom list and a point that most if not all are Pascal Wagers which are like super-boring ethically speaking). 1 Hive...

  Serious answer: There's multiple reasons for a medical diagnosis for tinnitus that involves environment, damaging levels of DBs and so forth. Recent study showed that 85% of NY young adults were listening to their head-phones at a level that produces...

  I demure. Kick-ass comment involving The Scarand so on. ~ Self-ban, 72 hrs....
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  Dude who doesn't understand Science or the premise. And yes, ffs. DUDE. THE FAILURE STATE IS DEATH OF YOUR SPECIES. ~ Like, seriously. If you hit 4oC, you're looking at a 4 billion kill zone. You hit 6oC, you're looking...
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  Our present society simply cannot be trusted with an End It All Button. You're kinda missing Reality here. Global Thermo-Nuclear War has been a set standard for 70+ years now. Even GW #2 didn't nuke the Middle East. What you're...

  Ah, yes. That word missing: BEING....
• Commented on A purely theoretical dilemma
  My, my, my. I do believe ya'll missed the point by a mile here. If you want irony, it's a load of Single Mind Models horse-trading over potential position post Hive. If we are to be banal, the entire point...

  The actual joke is a bit better than that. Linkin Parks' first hit album was Hybrid Theory, released in Oct 2000 and I was suggesting that Scott was much younger than I am. So unless Scott is roughly ~ 30...

  On one level, "get off my Lawn" applies as a joke, so yes. (The band mentioned is also no longer cutting edge, which is the meta part - the "gotcha" part, you're as ancient as I in the Mind of...

  Labour won, according to the Gruan. Oops....

  It works better if you switch to imagining what kind of consciousnesses get treated like that. i.e. Science / Labs and dissecting octopuses (and Douglas Adams jokes if you want). The meta-joke is that it's humans in many places. The...

  Oh, and, being a mature being who has had zero (0) hours without Light [that means daylight / enforced light before you go all GoT on me with the whole male "Ewww but sudden sagging breasts, I was whipping it...

  Thank you for those links (although, sadly, I then had to parse the back-lash against her [looking @ you, Boston University Anthro Department - let me guess how many 'crusades' and 'conquests' you've had on field trips. This is probably...

  Tying in your interest in spatial stuff & the insect subconsciousness paper, it has had a little discussion over at Conscious Entities where at least one serious professor (Space, self, and the theater of consciousness PDF A Trehub, 2005) who...

  A quick question (non-naughty) to all those nay-saying rapid uptake on CISPRA etc: Do you think the PRC hasn't looked at the USA [specifically health / BMI trends & medical costs not to mention the Trump factors], Japan [ Number...

  I'll be charitable and assume the joke implied relied on the "maximum ignorance" principle. In response, I'll just note that the (current) proposed solution relies upon a universal average. Meow. Still, if someone is playing Judge, I'll freely submit to...

  Well, host was pointing towards a more Utopian version of SF. It's not as if KRAS isn't being worked on heavily, e.g. Overall, these results indicate that Kras DNA vaccine produces an effective antitumor response in transgenic mice, and may...

  And yes: The CCCP isn't responsible. CPC / PRC. Then again, I don't carry snowballs into the Senate and expect that this would be a mature form of Republic / government for the leading Power-Bloc on the Planet. Note: Sen....

  Interesting one: In May 2014, Amazon.com stopped taking pre-order sales of Hachette books, citing a breakdown in negotiations over commission and ebook pricing. According to Hachette, Amazon had also stopped discounting its books, sending prices of Hachette titles in the...
